The Nigerian Air Force said its Air Task Force of Operation LAFIYA DOLE has successfully destroyed a Boko Haram Terrorists logistics base at Tumbum Gini in the northern axis of Borno.
AVM Olatokunbo Adesanya, NAF’s Director of Public Relations and Information, who confirmed this in a statement issued on Saturday, in Abuja, said the operation was carried out on April 27.
Adesanya said: “A Nigerien Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance aircraft conducted the Battle Damage Assessment for the mission.
“The BDA revealed that the first wave of a Nigerian Air Force Alpha Jet aircraft strike on the location totally destroyed the vehicles and other logistics items at the place thereby further degrading the terrorists’ capabilities.
“Furthermore, at the end of the attack, the entire BHT location was engulfed in fire and all the terrorists in the location were neutralized.”
